As a solo
writer, I write extensively about entertainment and media. As a
freelance ghost writer and collaborative editor, however, I've provided content for
many nonfiction genres, including:

politics

history

philosophy

humor

memoirs and biographical projects

business

true crime

film and
television

books about celebrities

narrative
nonfiction

I help clients develop their material into compelling, marketable books
that also capture their individual voice, personality and passion for
their subject.
My previous
collaborations include The Ethics of Star Trek,
which I co-authored with Indiana State University professor Judith Barad;
the memoirs
Keep on Keeping OnandUnfulfilled Dreams;
as well as projects with
New York Times
bestselling author Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul),
National Radio Hall of Fame nominee Ronn Owens (Voice
of Reason),
and nationally acclaimed political satirist and stand-up comedian Will
Durst.

I am also a successful book doctor, developmental editor,
and consultant. I am recruited by
literary agents, independent book publishers, and individual authors to
advise on, polish,
retool and, in some cases, rewrite book proposals and/or edit manuscripts and
make them marketable for mainstream publication. My work in this
capacity has helped lead to the publication of such titles as Big Brown: The Untold Story of UPS
by Greg Niemann; The Target,
a political thriller by Bill Bowen; and Once Upon a
Time: Elvis and Anita,
the memoirs of recording artist Anita Wood, which I edited on behalf of
the book's author, Jonnita Brewer Barrett.

I have also written or edited hundreds of articles for print and online newspapers,
magazines, custom publications, websites, and other media venues,
including Columbia House Video Library. In addition, for four years I
was copyeditor for an award-winning lifestyles and entertainment
magazine, where I edited/rewrote articles for every department while
upholding the publication's high standards of excellence.

I
also provide consultation to individual authors on areas related to
writing and publishing, including advice on obtaining a literary agent;
coaching; writing, editing and/or preparing query letters and query
packages to potential agents or publishers; and consulting for those who
may decide to self-publish. In some instances, I have helped authors line-edit and format their
manuscripts for publication using print on demand platforms.
